MOSCOW, October 1 – Novosti. Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev awarded a high school student who was wounded in a shooting at an Izhevsk school but helped evacuate other students, department spokeswoman Irina Volk said.
As noted in the ministry, during the attack on school No. 88, Alexander Sterkhov from 10 “B” showed courage and selflessness in conditions fraught with risk to life. He received a bullet wound, but despite this, he immediately went to the director’s office to warn of the danger.
“Thanks to the actions of the high school student, it became possible to quickly start the evacuation,” Volk explained.
Then the young man helped take the children to safety. At this time, rescuers noticed him and persuaded him to seek medical help.
The young man was awarded the medal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs “For contribution to strengthening the rule of law,” Volk said.
